About This Episode

A behind the scenes look at the Conception + Design + Development processes used throughout Grupo W's projects. This video brought to you by our friends at Aquent.

From Flash to motion design, to Flex and AIR, to design and
inspiration, FITC events stand as unique and exciting events that
educate, challenge, and inspire. Visit the FITC website to find out
more about their next events. http://fitc.ca

This is a live recording of David Wadhwani, Adobe’s senior vice president and general manager of the Creative and Interactive Solutions business unit, delivering the Adobe Keynote to Flash community members attending FITC Toronto 2011. He takes a quick look at the Flash platform and its future.

The mobile evolution brings interesting multiscreen development challenges to developers. Adobe’s Doug Winnie, Tom Higgins from Unity and Mattias Ekendahl & Riccardo Giraldi from B-Reel share their thoughts on developing for multiple screens and platforms at Flash in The Can 2011 (FITC) in Amsterdam.

Check out Adobe’s video impression of Flash in The Can Amsterdam (FITC), one of Europe’s largest Flash community events. Adobe evangelist Serge Jespers and his camera crew were there to give you an overview.

Mikey will show examples of personal and commercial work as he discusses some of the lessons he has learned in terms of creative thinking. He will demonstrate the value of research, strategy, constant collecting, and experimentation as well as specific techniques for coming up with new ideas. This video brought to you by our friends at Aquent.

Flash Player 10 has an amazing set of native features that allow you to create amazing experiences for the web and the desktop. This session will cover all you need to know to start manipulating the Flash Player at the byte-level. This video brought to you by our friends at Aquent.

Although still at the beginning of his career as a director, Matt will discuss the journey from the fine-arts and design to the world of moving images. This transition could not have been done without technology playing an integral role. This video brought to you by our friends at Aquent.

Sometimes drawing outside the lines means not just drawing a whole new shape but linking two different shapes together. With this presentation Ana will look at some examples of innovative storytelling projects that don't necessarily reinvent the wheel, but evolve it a little. From the re-conceptualization of the graphic novel to the re imagining of film, hybrid media can sometimes push the boundaries more than any new form we may invent. This video brought to you by our friends at Aquent.

We will cover techniques from projects that use alternative means of creating 3D objects, compositing rendered stills into a 3D-like environment, displaying 3D assets in a non-3D environment and adding 3D as a detail or interactive component in the Flash experience. This video brought to you by our friends at Aquent.

Thierry Loa (Dr. Hello - www.DoctorHello.BZ) will elaborate on the latter question and will therefore propose answers. He will discuss how philosophical knowledge and observation can have positive influences in our life and work. This video brought to you by our friends at Aquent.

Insight into the development process of large scale projects plus a first hand demonstration on VizualPv3d, a 3D authoring tool that can help you develop natively within Papervision 3D. This video brought to you by our friends at Aquent.

There are algorithmic systems that generate beauty. This presentation will be a survey of the designs & animations created by these systems, and a discussion of the code used in their creation. This video brought to you by our friends at Aquent.

In this session, Brett Rampata from Adobe’s Experience Design Group will unveil a new “Casual Social Game” platform that integrates with Facebook and leverages Adobe AIR’s unique capabilities. Brett will walk attendees through the “disruptive” desktop experience built in collaboration with MTV and Jackass, and provide a behind-the-scenes look into how it was created.

This presentation will introduce the iPhone SDK to aid in iOS development by using terms they already understand, by comparing the elements of the iPhone SDK to elements used in Flash. We'll do side-by-side comparison of Objective-C to ActionScript. We'll compare a few functional examples of tasks that you know how to do in ActionScript, and show you how to do them in Objective-C: parsing XML, loading images, saving preferences, animating graphics.

The Arduino hardware platform has brought data capture from physical devices to within reach of everyone including Flash developers. This session will explore the ins and outs of the Arduino board and how to connect them to Flash.

Giant projects can be scary if you don’t have a good process. Get an inside look at creating the Konductor AIR application with a focus on team development. Konductor combines an advanced CMS platform with an AIR based content editor that leverages the webkit engine to directly manipulate HTML. This session will be technically framed – a start to end examination of topics such as scope definition, developer and designer workflow, agile principles, iterative experience design, build processes, development framework, and quality assurance.

Join Sisu and Mstudio for a technical session on best practices and decision-making processes for freeing content from Drupal to utilize within Flash. We’ll take you through examples that demo various methods currently available to help you determine what will work best.
